A former local talent heard his name called in the 2018 Major League Baseball draft Tuesday.

South Carolina pitcher Adam Hill, a T.L. Hanna alum, was taken by the New York Mets in the fourth round with the 110th overall pick. He joins teammate Carlos Cortes, who was drafted by the Mets in the third round with the 83rd pick.

This season Hill, a junior right-handed pitcher, is 7-5 as a starter with a 3.99 earned-run average. He has recorded 98 strikeouts in 79 innings while walking 50.

He is set to pitch this weekend when South Carolina faces Arkansas in Fayetteville for the NCAA Super Regionals. The winner of the best-of-three series advances to the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

Hill has the option to return to school for his senior season and could be drafted in the 2019 draft.
